Hi my dears!

Today is the first day after November 26 when my flare started, when I woke up feeling almost no numbness in my body and especially in my face. During first 3 weeks of the flare half of my face was so numb I couldn't even speak or eat normally.

Lost quite an amount of weight due to this.

Now 99% of my sensitivity is back. I still get disproportionally tired after long walks, but I am ABLE to take long walks like 10k steps. And these are essential for good recovery. I am still emotionally drained since almost 2 months of being severely sick is very bad for anyone's mental health, but I'm getting better each day.

Thanks to your support I was able to get my sick leave from drawing and to actually get better without being afraid to loose the income I really need, especially since all the drugs and lab test are pricey!

That was the most sever MS flare I've had in years and years. I am more than sure that it's due to the long term stress of the pandemic.

But it seems to ve over without any significant reduction of functioning.

A huge part of that was hat I was able to rest, heal and not stress out thanks to the income I have due to your support.

You literally saved me.

Thank you.
